This building was condemned right after this photo was taken.

Hey, 2018, let's both agree to never be like this again. Okay? I'm saying goodbye to you and the me I was this year.
______________________
I broke a lot of personal records for stupidity and probably more than a couple promises. But I've never felt so much love from so many people than I have this year. Sometimes ups outnumber the downs, like the old rooster sings. Sometimes it's not the ratio of ups and downs that really makes the difference. Sometimes it's the people around you that make the downs a little easier to bear.
I'll make the most valiant effort to be worthy of your generosity to me in the coming year, dear friends. So here's to burning some bridges I should've burned a long time ago, and building a hundred more. I lift my imaginary digital glass filled with an unspecified non-alcoholic beverage to you. Here's to making memories worth remembering, chances worth taking, hugs worth extending, dreams worth pursuing, and a life worth living. It's not too late yet.
